So I finally bought myself a truck. I am now the proud owner of a 1997 Peterbilt 379-127.

Specs:

• Engine: Caterpillar 3406E
• Transmission: 13-speed Eaton-Fuller Roadranger
• Wheelbase: 260"
• Wheels: 24.5"
• Interior: American Class
• Sleeper: Unibilt midroof
• Hood: 127" (longnose bay-bee)

Whoever said money can't buy happiness obviously never tried buying a Pete!

 

Sounds like ya got a nice nice truck. What do ya do with it? Independant, leased, what kinda wagon do ya pull?

 

 

I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow. I'm turning it into a show truck; I have non-commercial registration/insurance on it, so I can't really pull anything.

 

It took me longer than planned, but here are the pics of my new toy

 

SLick looking truck. it needs a flatop sleeper and a set of 8inch bulhaulers with no muffs

 

nice lookin truck lil elbo grease and cleaner to get that crome jumpin and clean what do you haul

 

bigger stacks, smaller sleeper, and extend the frame and you'll be in there

 

Nice truck

 

I won't be hauling anything with it; I bought it as a show truck. Straight pipes definitely need to happen, I'm trying to figure out if I can get a side pipe setup to look good. That may prove difficult, though, so I may stick to stacks.

Sleeper stays. Flattops look good, but I like having some room in my sleeper.
